This 5 1/2" by 3 1/2" hand-colored postcard depicts Fairview, the home of William Jennings Bryan. Built at 4900 Sumner Street, this red-colored, multi-storied dwelling is located about 3 miles southeast of downtown Lincoln, Nebraska. The house appears to stand in the middle of a field, with trees growing on either side. Additionally, the postcard has been postmarked on the reverse, and there is a one-cent stamp in the upper right hand corner.

Built between 1902 and 1903, William Jennings Bryan and his family inhabited Fairview until 1921. In 1922, Bryan ceded the house and the surrounding five acres to Lincoln Methodist Hospital, which later became Bryan Memorial Hospital. The home still stands on the grounds of Bryan Memorial Hospital, with the lower floors open to the public.
